Punjab State Women Commission Chairperson Raj Lali Gill has expressed concern over the increasing number of live-in relationship cases.
She described this a worrying trend for the society. She said that not only young men and women but even some married individuals are also engaging in such relationships, which are weakening the social fabric.
Mrs. Gill emphasized the need to curb this issue and announced to recommend legal amendments to the state government on the matter. Addressing media after chairing a Lok Adalat in Patiala, she also expressed concern over growing intolerance within families. She said the rising number of old-age homes is another alarming trend for the society.
Gill, who was in Patiala to chair the Lok Adalat at Police Lines, said, not only young men and women but also some married individuals are engaging in live-in relationships, which are “weakening the social fabric”.
She further said she would be writing to the state government, urging legal amendments in this regard. The women’s commission chairperson also expressed concern over the growing family disputes and blamed the decreasing tolerance levels for it. This is the reason for an uptick in old age homes, another worrying social development, she said
